An Open Letter to Our Boo on Her Birthday

Happy Birthday Blaine

Dear Blaine,

On your birthday, I am feeling so conflicted. I want you to stay little for as long as possible.
I often stop and wonder how this is all happening so fast. Sometimes, I wish I could just freeze things now before you get all grown up on me! While I love that you are growing up and maturing into a sweet girl, I also still want my baby girl to be just that—my “baby”.

Back to Everything

Hi guys, welcome back! I have missed you all, but it’s great to return to my blog. What a fun summer it’s been! If you missed my big announcement this summer, I launched a new podcast on iTunes called “Nina’s Got Good News”. It was like having a third baby so that is one reason why I have not been blogging as much. It’s like being in the newborn baby phase all over again! LOL. 🙂

This has really been an exciting project for me, and I am loving the podcast world. I hope you will subscribe, rate my podcast and leave me a review. I drop new episodes every week so if you subscribe, you won’t miss any of them. I’d also love to hear your feedback and your ideas for future podcasts so please connect with me. This summer has been about many things, not just the new podcast.
